Emerging Persistent Memory technologies (also PM, Non-Volatile DIMMs, Storage Class Memory or SCM) hold tremendous promise for accelerating popular data-management applications like in-memory databases. However, programmers now need to deal…

Non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM) offers byte-addressable persistence at speeds comparable to DRAM. However, with caches remaining volatile, automatic cache evictions can reorder updates to memory, potentially leaving persistent…

NVM is used as a new hierarchy in the storage system, due to its intermediate speed and capacity between DRAM, and its byte granularity. However, consistency problems emerge when we attempt to put DRAM, NVM, and disk together as an…

Byte-addressable non-volatile main memory (NVM) demands transactional mechanisms to access and manipulate data on NVM atomically. Those transaction mechanisms often employ a logging mechanism (undo logging or redo logging). However, the…
